I'm getting a little nervous

Everything I read about DSLRS is directed at Canon or Nikon users. I even have free classes for DSLR since buying my Sony Alpha 100k, but the classes are directed to Canon/Nikon users. All the references are for them. Did I do the right thing buying this Sony????? Waaaaaa

Stay the course ...

Give the SONY some time ... Canon & Nikon are well established ... and most people really don't appreciate the costs involved until they had serious gotten caught up in it.

With the SONY, you can shoot the very same stuff the C & N can, but at like half the cost. Who's crying now? You are way ahead of the game, but just don't know it, yet.

I just got my A100 on valentines day and I love it. Still trying to work the kinks out, but its fun learning to use a new camera. I'm still frustrated with my night shots because they are all coming out blurry but I'm sure over time it will be ok.

I think the 50mm vs 50mm clearly shows that the SONY holds its own against the Canon, so don't be too worried. Just have a drink with the fine gentlemen using alternatives to the SONY and know, your getting the shots, also. You may notice the SONY holds its color spectrum a bit better than the Canon, with the angular light stripe in the upper right hand corner. The Canon-shot tends to wash it out.

This time the "kit" fared a bit better than it had in past tests, so I will refrain from chiding it ... this time. As soon as my new TAMRONAF 18-250mm f/3.5-5.6 XR Di-II LD Asherical (IF) shows up, I will add it to this presentation to see if all the hype of digital coating and improved refraction is true.

I can't see anything!!! I know you must have posted some pictures but they are invisible to my eyes

I'll see what I can do ... I really hate when that happens, you miss all the important stuff ... the production.

What kind of web browser are you using, by the way? Do you have the latest updates from Microsoft?

Try the link under the image ... see if that helps at all. It refers you to my backup "Photobucket.com" images
